CAMDEN RIVERSHARKS FIRST USRT VISIT: JULY, 2009
What makes Campbells Field so spectacular is not its red brick facade and kelly
green seats. It is the stupendous location, set at the base of the Ben Franklin Bridge
which connects Camden to Philadelphia. The best view is down the first base side,
where the bridge unfolds and the view of the Philadelphia skyline is readily seen
across the river. Being in the Atlantic League, lots of recognizable ex-MLB'ers on the
rosters.

ELMIRA PIONEERS FIRST USRT VISIT: SUMMER, 1998
It's one of the grand old minor league ballparks. Opened in 1938, Dunn Field was
the long time home to New York Penn League baseball, before moving into the
independent Northeast League in the 90s. The stadium oozes history, with old
memorabilia and photos lining the creaky and narrow concourses, and a parklike
setting with trees, forests and Chemung River winding by beyond the outfield fences
